The Trench Coats (the making of)

Needing another trench coat before winter really hits us all again in the City of London. But this time wanting to use a heavy weighted linen, in hoping to feel summer alittle longer on me.

Over the course of these pictures you will see many steps taken to achieve this goal and how it turns from a pile of washed out fabric, too something quite different.

After noticing for years people such as Christopher sending down the catwalk men and women with the sleeves rolled on there coats, i to wanted to play with this idea and make a coat that does just that. After designing many coats that have very fitted sleeves i knew that this was not going to have the same very fitted look when their down, but i had to deal with that. (I'm just too Hedi sometimes)
